Create a felted basket through the ancient art of wet felting during this three hour workshop with fiber artist, Mallory Zondag.

You will learn how to transform wool roving into a three dimensional vessel through the resist technique using just your hands, olive oil soap and water.

We will cover how to shape and form your vessel through wet felting, how to blend colors and create patterns in your felt and how to use cutting techniques to create an organic lace effect in your basket. These baskets make beautiful containers for your favorite houseplants, either by planting directly into them or using them as a container for your already potted plants!
